We Believe In, Pt 4

from Faith Community Fellowship · host Todd Crosthwaite, Lead Pastor

Message by Todd Crosthwaite, Lead Pastor Nicene Creed a rope that leads us home RISEN, ASCENDED, COMING AGAIN #1, Jesus is risen. NOT: - simply coming back from the dead - his soul going to heaven IS: - the defeat of death - new creation 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 We have victory! #2, Jesus is ascended. NOT: - Jesus going home - Jesus going away IS: - Jesus going to the throne **See Matthew 26:63-66 // Daniel 7:13-14 - Jesus filling the world Ephesians 4:8-10 ...through the Holy Spirit **See 2 Kings 2:9-11 // Acts 2:7-9 - Jesus empowering us #3, Jesus is coming again. NOT his revenge tour IS Jesus putting the world right **See Revelation 21:4-5 “God will do for the whole of creation what he did for Jesus on Easter.” [N.T. Wright] Because Jesus is coming again, we have hope. Julian of Norwich [1300s] "...but all shall be well, all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.”
